I have a MacBook and there's a few frustrating things that I couldn't deal with, so I installed Parallels on the computer so that I could have both OSX an XP running at he same time. The programs I couldn't live without: MS Outlook and MS Frontpage. Other than that, I really don't do much on the PC side of things.
The next version of Parallels is going to be able to run XP applications in their own windows, so it will be more or less seamless with the OSX desktop.
There's supposed to be some good surprises coming in OSX 10.5, so I'm kinda hoping that a few interface annoyances will be addressed.

for sure, it fairly is Leopard. It has the latest advances in tech alongside with a attractive GUI replace. XP is intense-high quality too. it fairly is spectacular. Leopard isn't as good yet, it fairly is notably reliable. XP is in simple terms the final ultimate domicile windows OS available. And Leopard is the final OS X available. yet, Leopard beats XP. hands down.

Mac OS has everything windows has but it's allways one step forward regarding inovations. The main problem is that you won't find many software written for it and those that exist cost more then their equivalent on a pc.
If you want windows on your mac you can install it with no problems now (BootCamp project).

The new Macbook Pro can have both on it. So you don't have to choose.
